Abstract
The effects of different treatments on the patulin content of apple juice during the production of industrial apple juice concentrate were investigated. Conventional clarification using a rotary vacuum precoat filter was found to be more effective than using ultrafiltration for the removal of patulin from apple juice. The average losses of patulin were 39% and 25% for conventional clarification and filtration, and ultrafiltration, respectively. Washing and handling appeared to be the most critical steps in removing patulin from apples since up to 54% could be removed using high-pressure water spraying.
